First off, historic downtown Dahlonega is very charming.

Something about the Picnic Cafe name made me think the food would be a little more homemade, cute in presentation, etc. but that wasn't quite the case. Our food was served on styrofoam, the coffee drinks were a-okay (from a machine) and the jelly was served in packets (I'm not sure why but I really pictured sweet local jams or something that would tie back to the name and feel of the business). The bakery case offered croissants, cookies, etc. I didn't try any of those for myself so I can't speak to them. They offer a handful of small tables both inside and on the front patio overlooking the square.  The service was great - I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that here.

When we pulled in, it was a little confusing as Chestatee River Adventures is in the same building. The main door is on the front or if you have a dog, head to the outdoor balcony area to claim your table. You need to have someone in your party head inside to place your order. The menu is relatively simple but specials (and ice cream!!) are inside. All of the ladies working were super pleasant, friendly and helpful. Once seated, they would offer to refill drinks and clear dishes. I got the daily special, Chestatee Chicken which was grilled chicken, thick bacon, grilled onions, cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce. You can get it standalone or on a bun. I opted for no bread. The loaded naked potato salad was tasty but too mayo-heavy for my husband's liking. The fries were delicious, the view was great, service excellent, food good- try it!

While it was delicious I have to say I've had better especially since I've lived in the Middle East and love the food over there and it's a nice option for North Georgia to have for fresh, healthy food. The mixed grill came with beef steak - shish tarwoek, grilled chicken and kofta that I believe is made with lamb burger and grilled. The saffron rice was excellent and the Greek side salad very good. I'll be back when I'm back in the area since I visit north Georgia often. Service was fine and nice little restaurant.

The ingredients: Wonder bread, classic pickles; basically the cheapest of the cheap, ultra-processed, high preservative American superstore food. If you wanted to buy those ingredients yourself and a make a burger, you would make it for much cheaper. My main qualms was just how stale and poor quality it all was. But the patty was the worse. So, so, so bad. It had no salt, no seasoning, tasted like cow and freezer burn and felt like rubber. I can't stress enough how bad it was, but I had to get myself a second lunch.

The overall look of the restaurant/bar on the outside and inside is great, no complaints. Once the…read morefood hit the table is when everything fell apart, starting with the house salad. The house salad was made up of greens that were not clean, the lettuce was old where they were it was cut as you can see in the pictures and the dressing which was homemade vinaigrette was completely 100% oil. The baked Italian sub was not baked at all, the cheese was not even melted on the sandwich. The garlic breadsticks which we were told were phenomenal were frozen or store-bought breadsticks that were heated up in the oven. You would think in a pizzeria restaurant that they would make their own breadsticks. Every pizzeria in the free world makes their own breadsticks fresh. The cheese and pepperoni pizza which they say is a crowd favorite came to the table and was nothing but a pool of grease. I am not being critical, I'm being real. The waitress (Hailey) was very nice, but it seemed like a whole lot of people standing around to me to not get things right. For 2 people spending $45 for lunch I would expect a little more attention to what the menu says and what you serve. If you say, baked on the menu, then bake the sub long enough to melt cheese.

We're not used to that in the big city. The service was good considering they're only appeared to be a couple waitresses handling the whole restaurant I ordered eggs over easy with grits and smoked sausage. I was a little disappointed in my eggs were over hard and not runny. The smoked sausage tasted more like store-bought sausage, and the grits were fairly bland. Not a bad meal and I ate it all, but not what I was hoping for. Now a couple of us did split a cinnamon roll that was out of this world good. It was hot fresh and tasted really good.
